Dear WG,

we have received an early allocation request from the authors of
draft-ietf-bess-evpn-optimized-ir (see details below).

Please let us know if you are aware of any code-point conflict, or
about any question regarding this allocation.

We envisage to proceed with the request on the 27th of June.

Thank you
M&T

The New Flags are defined in draft-ietf-bess-evpn-optimized-ir-00 in the 
following way:

                   0 1 2 3 4 5  6 7
                  +-+-+-+-+-+--+-+-+
                  |rsved| T |BM|U|L|
                  +-+-+-+-+-+--+-+-+

Bits 3-4 -->> 'Type' where:

+ 00 (decimal 0) = RNVE (non-AR support)
+ 01 (decimal 1) = AR-REPLICATOR
+ 10 (decimal 2) = AR-LEAF

Bit 5 -->> 'BM'
+ BM= Broadcast and Multicast (BM) flag. BM=1 means "prune-me" from the 
BM flooding list. BM=0 means regular behavior.

Bit 6 -->> 'U'
+ U= Unknown flag. U=1 means "prune-me" from the Unknown flooding list. 
U=0 means regular behavior.
